Verdict

CITY PRESS arrives on the back of a couple of wins in all-weather bumpers. His only win over timber came on good ground at Market Rasen last year and he could prove good enough in this. Jonny Rye has to come into the reckoning on his latest second at Fakenham and Awesome Bella separated a couple of woeful efforts with a placed effort at Towcester last year. Limpopo Tom's best efforts in Ireland would see him thereabouts and he looks best of the rest.
